Total War Three Kingdoms 1.1.0 Update Patch Notes

According to the Total War website, “this is the first major update for Total War Three Kingdoms.” As such, there are plenty of fixes and changes in a good number of areas in the game. We’ve covered some of the highlights below.

Campaign and Gameplay Fixes

Several fixes have been applied to the Total War Three Kingdoms campaign. This includes the news that babies should now be more likely to be born through marriage than they were before. Campaign Victory videos won’t be played twice if you’re playing in multiplayer when a Shared Mandate deal is in place now, which is great news. You’ll also be glad to hear that AI Factions shouldn’t declare emperorship when you move your capital after the update, too.

A lot of general gameplay tweaks and fixes have taken place, too. Trebuchets, for example, will damage rams correctly and they cannot be damaged by standard arrows. It’s not just that, however, and you can read through the massive list of gameplay and campaign changes in the full patch notes below.

General Fixes

Along with plenty of campaign fixes and tweaks, the Creative Assembly has been hard at work in many other areas of the game. There are tonnes of general fixes in the 1.1.0 update. For example, the developers have found and fixed 24 individual crash scenarios. Mid-distance trees will now display shadows correctly.
